Things to do in Keelung

The hiking was worth it because the scenery in this trip was incredible. Cipher was also an amazing guide with his very helpful tips and he even introduced us to some of the most amazing food I have tasted here in Taiwan.

We had a tour booked with A Wei and it was a wonderful experience. We were picked up directly from our hotel, which made the day very convenient and stress-free. His tour plan was very well organised, and he was punctual, friendly, and professional throughout the day. The itinerary covered Yehliu Geopark, Golden Waterfall, Jiufen Old Street, Cat Village, Shifen Waterfall, and the lantern experience. We had a great chance to explore Yehliu Geopark and Jiufen Old Street, but unfortunately heavy rain started later in the day. Despite the weather, A Wei still took us to all the remaining spots and kindly showed us around as much as possible. This was our first time in Taiwan, and we felt very welcomed and well looked after. We truly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend A Wei to anyone visiting Taiwan.

This was a self-guided tour, so there was no tour guide, but overall it was a great experience! The itinerary was clear and easy to follow, and each stop was enjoyable. Everything was organized well, making it convenient to explore with plenty of time each place. I would definitely recommend this tour my family and friends.

Highly recommended! Our trip was during the first week of December. It was very chilly and it was hard to see one attraction due to the weather. But overall, the places we went to were beautiful. Our driver was also very nice and polite. :)

I recommend the Blue Mountains tour. They are flexible and guide you while avoiding crowded times. Featherdale Wildlife Park is better than Taronga Zoo for seeing koalas and kangaroos up close. The kids will love it. Be sure to ride the Skyway/Cableway/Scenic Railway train. You will experience a magnificent sight. And thank you to Alex for guiding us.

Although the exhibition space is a bit old, the overall flow is still pretty good. The scenery was beautiful and the weather was pleasant that day, so the light shining through the gaps into the lobby was very atmospheric. I recommend taking a photo on the stairs in the lobby.

A great place to play in the water and sand in the summer, there's also a visitor center with restrooms. You can grab a bite to eat after playing in the water, with light meals and coffee available. There are fish and pufferfish to see in the water. It's a great place to cool off in the summer, and with lifeguards on duty, it's very safe.

Took Jinlong No. 6 to Keelung Island for the all-in-one tour. The weather was very sunny and the temperature was quite high. It was interesting to see different views of Keelung Island and Elephant Trunk Rock from different directions at sea. Climbing to the lighthouse after landing on the island was a real physical challenge.

As a first-timer with zero fishing experience, I thought I'd go home empty-handed. But to my surprise, I caught eight ribbonfish! It was a really cool and fun experience. I chose the twilight tour that started around 5 PM – the sky was beautiful! At the beginning, they assign you a fishing spot and teach you how to use the fishing rod and hook the bait, etc. During the fishing process, remember to listen to the boatman about how many meters to let the line out. Then, it's time to go on board to eat and drink! As for the food, I thought it was just okay; the rice noodles were pretty bland. I was fine with seasickness, but I did take seasickness medicine beforehand. Next time, I might consider skipping it. Remember to wear light shoes like sandals or flip-flops, etc., because you're very likely to get wet. I highly recommend bringing a rag. There's a toilet and sink for washing hands on the boat, but I found it more convenient to have my own rag! They also provide free bottled ice water. Overall, it was a really fun trip! I'm still wanting more!! I want to join again.🤣 It's a pity I didn't catch any squid this time!
